Travel Alaska - Spring
Also known as the "breakup" is one of Alaska shorter seasons. Its length depends on during which part of the state you are traveling but it usually begins in May when Alaska bursts into bloom and ends in June when the lilacs bloom and the salmon are returning into the rivers to spawn. This is the time for outdoor activities, low rates, reduced crowds and special beauty.
Travel Alaska - Summer
The sun refuses to set, the salmon are upriver and people are energized by limitless daylight The state fills up with visitors from around the world exploring Denali, Glacier Bay and Kenai Fjords National Parks observing bears, moose and whales, traveling with the Alaska Railroad to Fairbanks, attending hiking tours above the Arctic Circle or catch a salmon on the river.
Travel Alaska - Autumn
Between the late August and mid September trees and tundra are turning into bright vivid colors. For one/two weeks or more the bright yellow birches of the boreal forest and the rich red of the heathery tundra make September the loveliest time of the year. Wildlife viewing is delightful, silver salmon fishing is excellent and the weather is crisp, sunny and perfect.
Travel Alaska - Winter
Alaska is busy with snowmobile and sled dog races, ice carving competitions and the winter carnival. The scenery is at it's best and this is the time to see the Aurora Borealis, visit the Anchorage Fur Rendezvous and experience the thrill of the famous 1050-Mile Iditarod Sled Dog race to Nome. Alaska is also a paradise for downhill ski, dog mushing and ice skating.
